STILL 'IlNNlNt TO HOPE.
The survivors and the others OF the
/ club who were ON the other boats still
cling 90 hope and speak Of the absent AS
missing, but the Canarsie b0atmcn have
/ no doubt that an are lost. There Is no
/ room ior The belief that any rcscues were

son They were the women and children
brought ashore by the tug Edith Dean,
Captain Rohde.
The description of the accident and
ihe circumstances Of the roscues are told
alike 10y the crew and passengers OF the
Dean, and those OF thc sioop Christina,
which Was sailing almost In company
wIth the Mystery.
HOW ruE ,LoOr CApslzED.
The Mystery was rounding the point
of the har into the Yankee channel and
was well OIL so as 90 have depth OF
! fully forty feet of water under her keel
The suppos.tion that she may have taken
ground with her cent3ch0ard is thus dis
I posed Ol The captain of the Dean Is
very positive 0n this point. although the
/ prevalent belief ON shore 0n SUNDAY
night gave Ibis rs the cause cf the mis-
hap. The accident WAS. therefore. the
result entirely Of "a pun of wind that
struck the full-sailed yacht at this critical
point.
She bad just come about, and did not
have enough headway 10 come up Of
herself, and The crowded condition of
her decks prevented the easing Of the iib
sheets on the lowering Of the headsail in
time t0 avert the disaster.
